I carry a Smiths diamond steel on my belt when hunting. The Shrade ÷ steel in my original Schrade lb7 seldom needs touched up in the field, at least on the first elk.
The blades are honed prior to season on ceramic. Might get touched up in camp on the side of a coffee cup.

Diamond stick in the field. At home I use a Wicked Edge sharpener.

Same way I did when I was a kid, stones, oil and leather. I have a Spyderco Sharpmaker, but I've never gotten around to using it.

For those that use the old time stone method do you use the circular motion or straight I’ve found there’s no difference

The way my dad taught me, by hand with a sharpening stone. Gadgets are pointless if you have skill.
I sure could go for some $2.50/gal gas and a mean tweet!

I use an old oil stone that I got from a machine shop lubed with gun oil, followed by a few scrapes across a steel. I’ve found that Patients and experience are the best. A good guy with a crappy stone will get better results than a fellow who’s impatient with a good stone. Get a decent stone, and turn on a good movie, and take your time. 7mm

The oil stone, and a beer or six! If I'm lazy that week, it's a Havalon sort of day!

Lansky diamond hones then a leather strop. For the Kitchen knives, i generally just use a steel or in worst case scenario, the worksharp system then a steel.
The Lansky diamond hones keep the Shrade and the Russel scary sharp.

For those that use the old time stone method do you use the circular motion or straight I’ve found there’s no difference I feel there is some difference. If I want to remove a bunch of steel from a nicked blade I go in circles. More time on stone, faster movement. Quicker. When it's just sharpening, straight is easier to maintain angles. YMMV
